Supreme Court Partially Revives Travel Ban, Will Hear Appeal (bloomberg.com)

From a report: The U.S. Supreme Court partially revived President Donald Trump's travel ban and said the justices will hear arguments in the fall. The justices said the ban can apply for now only to people who don't have a "credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States." From a NYT report: Mr. Trump's revised executive order, issued in March, limited travel from six mostly Muslim countries for 90 days and suspended the nation's refugee program for 120 days. The time was needed, the order said, to address gaps in the government's screening and vetting procedures. [...] The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, in San Francisco, recently blocked both the limits on travel and the suspension of the refugee program. It ruled on statutory rather than constitutional grounds, saying Mr. Trump had exceeded the authority granted him by Congress. The court agreed to review both cases, and said it would hear arguments in October, noting that the government had not asked it to act faster.

We'll see if Trump lasts that long

He seems to serve up another impeachable offense on an almost weekly basis lately. Sure, we would need the GOP house and GOP senate to set aside partisan politics long enough to actually do what is right for the country, but as some point he will cross that bridge (and burn it down) and then he'll either be removed by force to forced to resign.

For those fearing a president Pence, it is worth noting that Trump is an incredibly vindictive son of a bitch. The odds of him not taking Pence down with him is slim to none. We'll more likely see a Nixon-esque departure where Pence is kicked out first so that the GOP can appoint a new VP to take over once Trump leaves for good.

Unfortunately that won't completely end the nightmare as the US government will be on the hook for security for all things Trump until at least the death of his youngest child, but at least the bleeding will end.
